Chapter 1107: Conclusion and Departure
Chapter 1107: Conclusion and Departure (Combined)
Qingbao recalled what her Beastmaster had said before the match and immediately radiated a pink glow.
The next second, a pink glow also illuminated an area of about twenty meters on the ground below.
Purple toxic gas covered the entire Arena, obscuring the scene inside.
However, Qiao Sang had astonishing vision and could still faintly see Qingbao's shadow high in the air and the toxic back beast's shadow outline in the distance.
In the Guest section:
"The toxic back beast's toxic gas can spread so widely. It seems it hasn't been using its full strength in the previous rounds", Hostreflection commented.
Leonard calmly analyzed:
"With just this move, most familiars would be directly poisoned. However, Clear Hidden Sprite has the Misty Field, so it should be safe from the toxic gas for now."
"Weku."
"Weku."
Wekughost called out twice, indicating that the Arena was no different from Toxic Ground. The Misty Field's range was limited, and since it excelled in Wind Transformation, it would eventually drift out of the Misty Field and fall into a poisoned state sooner or later.
The translation of Wekughost's words synchronized through Host and Leonard's earpieces.
They didn't comment on Wekughost's obvious bias towards the toxic back beast. As a wild beast companion that had once won a championship, it was normal for it to hope that wild beast companions would win championships.
On the field:
The thick purple toxic gas obscured Qingbao's vision and also blocked the toxic back beast's line of sight of Qingbao.
This was actually an opportunity... Qiao Sang spoke up:
"Attack to the left."
Qingbao, who was disoriented and couldn't tell directions, immediately felt reassured upon hearing her Beastmaster's voice. Without hesitation, she opened her mouth and unleashed a pink gale in the direction to the left.
The pink gale caused the toxic gas around her to surge and scatter wildly.
Then, her Beastmaster's voice came through again:
"Wind Transformation!"
Qingbao immediately canceled her Wind Transformation without a second thought.
"Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud!"
The moment she canceled her Wind Transformation, countless Venom Stingers shot up from below like a heavy rain, fiercely attacking the area above the Misty Field.
All the Venom Stingers pierced through the air but missed their target.
First, the toxic gas covered the Arena, blocking the view. Then, the Venom Stingers attacked Qingbao's position. Even if the toxic back beast didn't know Qingbao's exact location, the indiscriminate attack would hit most familiars in the toxic gas. This toxic back beast had actually developed a combination technique... Thankfully, Qingbao remembered her earlier words and had used Misty Field without a command... Qiao Sang reflected inwardly.
"Poison Back!"
As the thought crossed her mind, the toxic back beast let out a blood-curdling scream.
Then, a fierce gale suddenly surged, sweeping across the entire area and instantly dispersing the toxic gas, revealing the toxic back beast's shadow on the ground.
The audience stands erupted in a commotion.
They hadn't expected the toxic back beast, which had covered the entire Arena with toxic gas, to be the first to be hit.
"How did Clear Hidden Sprite hit the toxic back beast?"
"I don't know, but I heard Qiao Sang give a command. She must have been able to see the toxic back beast's position."
"I've heard that B-Class Masters have physical conditions and senses similar to those of superheroes. It's normal for her to be able to see."
"The toxic back beast just used toxic gas and didn't attack at all? I thought it would have an advantage in the toxic gas and take the opportunity to attack."
"It probably did attack. Qiao Sang gave the command for Wind Transformation."
"It did attack! Are you blind? There are still Venom Stingers on the ground."
The sounds from the arena reached the Toxic Back Beast's ears. Seeing so many people watching it, the Toxic Back Beast flipped over and stood up as if it wasn't injured at all.
"Toxic Back!"
It even let out a powerful roar.
The Wild Beast Companions in the audience stands immediately cheered.
This action felt strangely familiar... Qiao Sang thought to himself.
"Qingqing~"
Amidst the cheers of the Wild Beast Companions, Qingbao appeared, winking at the Toxic Back Beast and throwing a Bewitching Glance.
Qingbao has made great progress. In the past, it wouldn't use Enchantment when in a bad mood. Indeed, familiars improve the fastest in actual combat... Qiao Sang felt very gratified.
Seeing the incoming pink heart, the Toxic Back Beast's expression turned serious. It quickly turned into a purple light, moving rapidly while giving Qingbao the middle finger and a Taunting expression.
Qingbao's expression instantly darkened.
At the same time, the gale around it suddenly intensified.
As if its resolve had shattered, the pink heart-shaped symbol "clicked" and disappeared.
This Toxic Back Beast seems to have a lot of battle experience, knowing that Taunt can counter Enchantment... Qiao Sang's mind raced.
The Taunt skill, although low in level, is often very effective against familiars with weak Mental Power or easily fluctuating emotions. Just like now, when Taunt is successfully used, a familiar with Enchantment will be unable to use it for a certain period due to increased hatred.
Qiao Sang collected his thoughts and said:
"Double Wind."
"Qingqing!"
Qingbao opened its mouth, and a pink gale infused with Fairy Energy instantly spewed out.
It kept its mouth open, and another powerful gale roared out.
The two winds quickly merged, suddenly growing larger, transforming into a catastrophic gale that swept toward the Toxic Back Beast.
The Toxic Back Beast's eyes narrowed, and it ran quickly. Then it seemed to think of something and, while running, turned to spray a green toxin at the pursuing gale.
Seeing this, Qiao Sang realized something and issued a command: "Wind Transformation."
Qingbao's Wind Transformation disappeared.
Almost simultaneously, the gale enveloped the Toxic Back Beast and the green toxin.
"Toxic Back!"
The Toxic Back Beast let out a blood-curdling scream in the gale.
The toxin, swirling with the gale, rained down like a sudden storm, continuously spraying out.
The moment it hit the ground, it produced a corrosive green smoke.
This Toxic Back Beast even knew how to use the gale to expand its toxin's range... Qiao Sang regarded this beast with newfound respect, thinking that it was no wonder it had made it to the finals on its own.
Just with this intelligence, it was stronger than most Beastmasters.
Qiao Sang then thought of something, sensed something, and said:
"Move to the Misty Field."
At this point, Qingbao was already out of the Misty Field's range. With the toxin spreading widely in the gale, the air would soon be filled with toxic gas. Qingbao might not be able to hold out, and if it revealed itself, the toxin would attack and cause severe injuries.
While the Misty Field hadn't completely disappeared, it was best to stay within its range.
As soon as he spoke, Qiao Sang felt Qingbao's position shift and felt relieved.
In the guest area.
The host reflected:
"Contestant Qiao Sang is very cautious. I didn't expect him to think ahead even when he had the upper hand."
Leonard said:
"An excellent Beastmaster usually thinks one or two steps ahead, or even three. Contestant Qiao Sang has perfectly demonstrated this."
"Weku."
Weku Ghost nodded, its expression also reflective.
It hadn't expected a B-Rank Beastmaster to take such a difficult match seriously, treating an Advanced Wild Beast Companion as a true opponent.
In the arena.
The gale disappeared with a loud "bang", and the Toxic Back Beast fell heavily to the ground.
Its entire body lay on the ground, its claws twitching slightly.
It's not over yet; this Toxic Back Beast's defense is quite strong... Qiao Sang quickly said:
"Finisher."
"Qingqing."
Qingbao appeared, emitting a dazzling seven-color light that rapidly enveloped the Toxic Back Beast.
"Toxic Back!"
The Toxic Back Beast let out another anguished cry as it was sent flying backward.
It still lay face down on the ground.
Just as Qiao Sang thought the match was over, she noticed the Toxic Back Beast's claws twitch slightly.
It hadn’t completely passed out yet... Qiao Sang said, "Finisher again."
"Poison, toxic back..."
Before Qingbao could launch its attack, the Toxic Back Beast raised its claws and weakly called out, indicating that it couldn’t take any more...
Then its claws fell to the ground.
The familiar wearing the Referee Badge appeared beside the Toxic Back Beast.
Qingbao, who was about to attack, showed a disappointed expression.
It remembered how the opponent had taunted it during the match and hadn’t had enough of the fight.
After a few seconds, the familiar with the Referee Badge raised a green flag and waved it in Qiao Sang’s direction.
The host announced loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen! The champion of this year’s Elite Beastmaster Tournament has been decided! It’s Contestant Qiao Sang and her Clear Hidden Sprite!"
The audience erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
Although the Wild Beast Companions in the stands had been supporting the Toxic Back Beast, a fellow wild beast companion, they ultimately admired strength. As long as the victory was earned through skill, they would cheer just as loudly.
For a moment, the entire venue was filled with the sounds of people chanting Qiao Sang and Clear Hidden Sprite’s names.
"Meimei!"
"Prickly!"
In the back of the stands, Sweetflower and Spiky Beast stood up, holding cheer batons, and cheered excitedly.
"Qingqing."
Qingbao, feeling the cheers around her, floated to her Beastmaster’s side and pretended to look shy.
In the Contestant Area.
"Ya Ya!"
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy called out excitedly.
"Xunxun!"
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker called for a while, then looked at the cheering audience with an envious expression.
...
The next morning.
Qiao Sang woke up, freshened up, had breakfast, and began packing her luggage.
After the match ended last night, the champion’s rewards were immediately presented. After discussing with Teacher Mikara, she decided not to waste time and to set off today.
Lulu, Qingbao, Steel Treasure, and Treasure Seeker were helping her pack.
Thunder Dragon watched curiously, poking at things here and there.
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker sighed as it put the packed items into the Ring, indicating how much it wanted to participate in the match.
Without hesitation, Qiao Sang said, "Participating in a match isn’t hard. We’ll check if there’s a suitable one for you later."
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker’s eyes lit up, and it called out, indicating that it wanted to check now.
"You keep packing, and I’ll help you look." Qiao Sang took out her mobile phone, opened the relevant tournament authority app, and started searching for a match suitable for Treasure Seeker to enter.
Soon, she found a match specifically for Ghost-type familiars.
She skimmed through the details and saw that the champion’s prize was a gift package worth 10,000 Union Coins and the latest model of a well-known brand’s mobile phone.
Suddenly, Qiao Sang sensed something and quickly shut off her phone.
"Xunxun?"
Treasure Seeker’s voice sounded beside her.
Why did she stop looking?
Qiao Sang turned her head and saw Treasure Seeker leaning in, trying to look at her phone. She said calmly, "I thought about it, and it’s better to put your match on hold. Don’t forget we’re preparing to head to Azure Light Island."
Honestly, if Treasure Seeker hadn’t leaned in, she might have continued checking the match, but this timing was bad. If Treasure Seeker saw that the prize was a mobile phone, it would definitely sign up for the match, and then how would she get it to do missions and earn credits willingly?
Steel Treasure silently glanced at its Beastmaster.
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker was initially disappointed but then thought about the upcoming trip and perked up, calling out in agreement.
After that, it continued packing.
"Ya Ya!"
At that moment, Fangy ran in from outside, calling out while chewing on an Energy Pill, indicating that Sweetflower had arrived from next door.
Qiao Sang, upon hearing this, got up and walked out of the room.
Qingbao also floated out.
In the living room, Sweetflower was sitting on the sofa.
Dragon King suddenly heard something and gave a meaningful look to the young dragons.
"Momo."
The young dragons were very considerate, handing a fruit to Sweetflower.
"Meimei."
Sweetflower took the fruit, somewhat surprised by the gesture.
In her memory, Dragon-type Beast Companions were usually very proud, and she never expected one to be so friendly, even offering her food.
Qiao Sang entered the living room and saw this scene.
"Momo", the young dragons greeted her enthusiastically.
Qiao Sang smiled at them and then looked at Sweetflower, asking, "Why are you here?"
Last night, when Sweetflower came to help Qingbao with training, Qiao Sang had told her that she would be leaving for Azure Light Island and wouldn't need her help anymore.
"Meimei?" Sweetflower looked over, showing a reluctant expression, and called out.
"Qingqing."
Qingbao helped translate, asking if they would be coming back.
Qiao Sang nodded and said, "Of course, we're just going out for a while."
"Meimei."
Sweetflower, hearing this, looked happy and called out again.
"Qingqing."
Qingbao synchronized the translation.
She said she didn't have any other reason for coming, just to see them off.
Qiao Sang, hearing this, couldn't help but feel touched. "You didn't have to come all the way to see us off."
As she spoke, she remembered something important and looked at Qingbao. "Stay with Sweetflower while I pack."
"Qingqing."
Qingbao nodded and then floated over to Sweetflower's side.
Sweetflower, looking at Qingbao as it floated over, seemed to recall something and showed a surprised expression.
Before, when she saw Clear Hidden Sprite, it was always surrounded by strong winds, but this time, there was nothing.
Half an hour later.
Qiao Sang finished packing and left the house with Fangy and the others, along with Teacher Mikara.
"Momo."
Dragon King pointed to the few Modalong and Xiaomolong and called out, asking if they could come along.
Migala's lips twitched, and she refused, "No."
Dragon King ignored her and looked at Qiao Sang.
Migala: "…"
Qiao Sang didn't understand the meaning but could sense the atmosphere. "I'll follow Teacher's decision."
Migala immediately felt relieved.
"Momo."
Dragon King showed a compromising expression and called to the Modalong and Xiaomolong.
"Momo."
"Momo…"
The valiant dragons called out, showing they understood, while the young dragons looked reluctant.
"Sweetflower, we're leaving now. See you next time", Qiao Sang turned and said.
"Meimei."
Sweetflower nodded and waved her claws.
"Modalong and Xiaomolong, thank you for your help these past few days. We'll meet again if fate allows it", Qiao Sang said.
"Momo."
"Momo."
The valiant dragons and young dragons called out and then flapped their wings, flying into the sky.
"Momo…"
The power dragons lowered their heads and flapped their wings, preparing to leave.
However, at that moment, Qiao Sang, watching its movements, asked in surprise, "Power dragons, aren't you coming with us to play?"
The power dragons stopped and turned, looking stunned.
It? Go with them to play?
Qiao Sang, seeing the power dragons' expression, looked at Dragon King and asked, "Power dragons isn't coming with us, right?"
During this time, new Modalong and Xiaomolong would come almost every day, but this power dragon had always stayed here. She thought Dragon King would bring it along.
"Momo!"
Dragon King was initially surprised but then showed an excited expression, quickly nodding and calling out.
Together, of course!
Saying this, he patted the power dragons' head.
"Momo!"
The power dragons came back to its senses and showed a happy expression.
Ah! Thank you all for your monthly votes, which have helped me regain the top spot! (End of Chapter)
